    Yeah, I wasn't counting rookies, I look at it as guys who have been here and will have a great season as compared to years past.

    The red part because of the green part.

    The OL has the talent, and is gaining the experience, but if I'm honest with myself I think it'll be at least another year before they really pull it all together. If they can stay healthy they'll be better than last year, but not where they need to be. Not that I don't think Bell will be great... I was more basing my choices based on expectations. I expect Wheaton to surpass the expectations the league seems to have for him. Bell has been considered a ROTY favorite since the moment we drafted him, and I don't expect him to meet those expectations, whether it's his fault or not. Plus he's hurt and could miss a few games.

    I think that might be part of what the FO liked about Bell. He ran behind a VERY bad offensive line in college and put up great numbers.

    The Green I agree with completely.

    The red I can agree with because of contract years. Especially Sanders

    I'm going with 8 picks for Cortez Allen, which is unheard of for our CB corps. OK, maybe 6....

    This is the only prediction worth making.

    I was trying to quote this in a meeting today, but after a few attempts realised nobody there had seen the film, and was probably inappropriate for a University exam board.

    I predict a break out year for Redman.Now that Spendenhall and Dwyer our gone the Team has allowed Redman to rest for the 1st time since he has been here, as a result he will be healthy in case people forget Redman has had 100 yard plus games when healthy ,no need to think he can't do that again on a bigger scale esp. if the OL starts making some holes.

    Get it Straight I predicted 5.0 a carry ,but none of our RB'S faired well behind the blocking they where getting...So yes if we can win the LOS Redman can push the pile I have no doubt about that.

    With ya PWP. I really think we see the best of Redman this year. He is a force and can push piles.
